Will White People Riot if McCain loses?

[Number23]

Even though it is has been a recurring thing at REPUBLICAN rallies and events to hear cries of "kill him!" "traitor" and "terrorist," for some reason some white folks are scared that BLACK PEOPLE will be the ones rioting in the streets come November.

From the article:

"Not all white people are McCain supporters. (See caucuses, Iowa.) Not all black people are backing Obama. (See Negroes, self-loathing. Just joking.)

But there is a small but vocal segment of white Republicans who just might have an aneurysm if the next occupant of the White House is a black man."

From Salon's black folks corner, The Root.

We'll file this under Blatant Double Standards along with the assertion that Colin Powell only endorsed Obama because they're both black, and that the reason Obama has 90% support from black people is because we're looking out for "tha brotha!"

1. If Obama loses because of GOP voter fraud, I'll be the one rioting.

For the record, I'm not black.

:grr:

[Number23]

5. Voter fraud definitely = rioting n/t

[frogcycle]

18. election fraud

not voter fraud.
election fraud.

[dorkulon]

20. ok then. /nt

[madokie]

22. My mostly white ass will be in the streets if they steal this election from Obama

its not my fault my ass doesn't see much sun like the rest of me does

[dorkulon]

Yes it is. You could be wearing chaps.

:evilgrin:

[madokie]

27. then I'd be a real red ass ;-)

[Hubert Flottz]

50. If the election theft takes place my...

Caucasian Keister will be right out in the street with you.

[norepubsin08]

37. I'm with ya!!!

[americanmutt]

2. i will resist.....

i cannot tell you how much this crap is depressing me. WHAT IS THE BIG F#@KING DEAL. For 46 years i have tried to ,'Live and let live' and yet there are those that say,NO, 'live as we live, or die' You threaten my way of life, and i harm no one.
Fuck that.

[depakid]

3. Why oh why do some folks want to post things like freepers?

I mean really.

[Number23]

4. What Freeper would post this?

This is a nice little rebuttal to the frequently asked, Limbaugh-esque question of "will black folks riot if Obama loses?"

I really have no idea what your problem is. But it seems pretty serious.

[depakid]

6. White people aren't going to riot

Come on now.

Limbaugh-easque is right.

Can you not see that you're posting something precisely like he (and other folks like that) would?

[Number23]

7. That's the whole point, man!!

White people aren't going to riot

Could you at least read the doggone article before starting a fuss??!

The author is writing in response to having been asked if blacks will riot if Obama loses. You think that this is the only time this question has been asked??

She knows it's idiotic to ask if whites will riot if McCain loses. She wants that same logic applied when people ask that question about blacks looting if Obama loses.

[frogcycle]

19. you should go back and

make sure you use all one-syllable words

[Number23]

47. !!

make sure you use all one-syllable words

:rofl:

Depa is a good kid, though. He just sees it as his mission here to be the DU Contrarian. Or is that Curmudgeon?? I forget. :)

[dipsydoodle]

8. Is that a serious question ?

[Tunkamerica]

9. i'm rioting no matter what

I've already written it on my calendar. but it may be a quiet riot.

[Number23]

11. Oh no! Not the calendar entry!!

LOL :rofl:

Things to do on November 5:

Buy kitty litter
Re-paint garden gnome
Riot

[dems_rightnow]

53. I'm busy that day....

.... but I might riot for a couple of days before the election, time permitting.

[ColbertWatcher]

10. No, they'll pay their servants to do it for them. n/t

12. a message from Italy

Hi! I'm a white Italian young woman living in Italy. I hope Obama will be the next USA president for the good of the white and the black not only in the USA; for the good of democracy; for people in the world who are worried for their own freedom.
Most Italian people are pinning their hopes on Obama today, because many of us think that we will soon need a new Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Please, go and vote for Obama President!

[BlueCollar]

14. Thanks for joining us and welcome

:hi:

[realexa]

15. thnx

:)

[BlueCollar]

24. If it gets too crazy here in this forum

you can retreat to the lounge...:-)

[ColbertWatcher]

21. Thank you for your comments and welcome to DU! n/t

[shadowknows69]

35. Welcome to DU Italy!!!

And I think you can safely bet that 99.9999% of this board will be voting for Mr. Obama.

[realexa]

39. ops!

May be it's better I log in the rival forum and copy and paste my message! :hide: Does nobody have the link?:evilgrin:

[martymar64]

51. Buon Giorno!

Welcome to DU!

[TomClash]

13. The answer to the double standard is

If Barack loses, we'll have a rainbow riot.

[realexa]

17. a rainbow riot...

a global rainbow riot around the world

[JustAnotherGen]

40. Welcome to DU

I have a friends in Palermo Sicily that have expressed the same sentiments to me! {{{{realexa}}}} :-)

[realexa]

48. Italy

quite hopeless situation in Italy

[Dorian Gray]

16. I don't believe

that there will be riots either way.

Passions always get inflamed during elections, but once someone is elected, it seems to die down.

There will be a lot of ignorant vile spewed on message boards, though.

36. ...

:evilgrin:

[Number23]

45. Heee hee!

"Democrats win, riots break out in gated communities all over America"

Love it

[Ishoutandscream2]

58. LOL! Exactly

They talk a big game, but they'll be cowering in the safety of their own homes and "gated communities" after Barack wins. The blow hard, pissed off types will be probably cowering in fear.

[shadowknows69]

25. Not if they know what's good for them

Because much as they'd like to believe differently their species (Bigotis Stupidus) is in the minority and I don't think they walk quite as tough as they talk.

[Number23]

46. I love your optimism, Shadow

Because much as they'd like to believe differently their species (Bigotis Stupidus) is in the minority

And pray that one day, this will become true.

[annabanana]

26. Some might... Remember that doddering "he's a - Arab" woman?

Fit young men who are as stupid as her might go on a tear... I expect there will be some incidents. The people who key cars with Obama stickers.. The people who vandalize field offices of the campaign..

How much coverage these incidents get is anybody's guess.

[shadowknows69]

29. I'll bet it gets coverage if we start hitting these vandals with bats

or other similar implements of pain. It always makes the news when there's an ambulance involved.

[annabanana]

31. settle there shadow . . . settle

the apparatus will still favor the staus quo, regardless of election outcome... We need our warriors on this side of the bars.

[shadowknows69]

33. I know and I'm too physically broken to chase down a vandal anyway lol.

But anyone tries to break into my place or mess with my world and they'll find a world of pain awaiting them.

[mmonk]

28. Looks to me they already are.

[TexasObserver]

30. No, not rioting. Random acts of violence against "others," however.

I do look for the incidence of hate crimes to go up, targeting blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Muslims, gays, or anyone who looks like he or she might be one of the preceding.

Impromptu acts of goonish behavior will be the Order of the Day.

[fed_up_mother]

32. Probably not. The worst of them will hope the white supremists do something...

ugh

[JustAnotherGen]

41. I hope not

There are 34 hate groups in NJ (where I live) and only 6 are black separatist. A few of these hate groups are way too close for comfort to me. Actually, they all are. We have many people but are a 'physically' small state. These white/black power wingnuts might just come out of the woodwork post election day. . .

UGH is right. :-(

[Hubert Flottz]

34. I won't...

[Phred42]

38. Will rational Americans riot if the Reich steals ANOTHER ONE?

[cabluedem]

49. No they wont. They will stay home. nt

[scheming daemons]

42. Obama is leading among white people in the latest NBC/WSJ poll...

So why would we riot? Our guy is winning!

44. I may riot if McCain does win :)

[hiphopnation]

52. the question should be:

"If white people riot if McCain looses, who will give a shit?"

on the other side, if Obama looses you'll not only possibly see black people in the streets, you'll see all different colors of people marching. why? cause the only way it could happen at this point is for repukes to cheat. you'd see me in the streets....

[ileus]

54. white folk will just take their lumps and go to work on the 5th.

[Midlodemocrat]

55. My totally white middle aged pinbutted Yankee ass will be in the streets

if Obama loses.

[magdalena]

56. That was a great article,

and in all honesty I don't feel that it is that absurd of a question. Head over to freeperville and it won't take long to find a post about stocking up on pitchforks and ammo in anticipation of a McCain loss.

[malaise]

57. I don't like your subject heading

Lots of white people are voting for Obama. You're obviously talking about the far right lunatics.
